Everything coming in the Holiday Part 2 event in Pokémon GO.

The festivities continue in Pokémon GO with the Holiday Part 2 event. This is a follow on from the Part 1 event, that will finish just before this event kicks off. There is a new shiny debut for Cetoddle, a brand new costumed version of Wooloo and Dubwool as well as a buff to Adventure Incense.

So, here is everything coming in the Holiday Part 2 event in Pokémon GO this Christmas.

Pokémon GO Holiday Part 2

The Holiday Part 2 event runs from Sunday, December 22, at 10:00 a.m. to Friday, December 27, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time. That is immediately after the Holiday Part 1 event, that ends at 9:59 a.m. just prior.

Event Bonuses

The following bonuses will be in effect during the event.

  • 2× XP from catching Pokémon.
  • 50% more XP from Raid Battles.

Adventure Incense extended

During the event, there will be a buff to Adventure Incense that will extend a bit beyond the event dates. From Wednesday, December 25, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time, Daily Adventure Incense will last twice as long. That means Adventure Incense will last for 30 minutes, giving Trainers a better chance at finding a Galarian Bird, which could even be shiny! Don't forget, you can still extend that using Roar of Time.
